[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6922312, member: 97077"] I don't really want your DM to do anything in particular. I don't know him or her and thus can't be given to care. An issue was cited. A solution that doesn't change the rules was given. That suggests to me, preference aside which I cannot argue against, there is no issue with this aspect of the class feature. As I stated upthread with regard to the numbers of groups, the DM needn't be that specific in my view as long as he or she knows the player's goal. Is the ranger trying to find a dragon he heard about in town? Is the ranger trying to track down the 28 mercenaries that pillaged her home town? Once clear, there really isn't in my opinion anything hard for the DM to do.[COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR]My goal for this aspect of the thread, at this point in the discussion, is to examine what specific ways others play the game or other DMs run the game that make the power problematic for you.
